Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the chicken, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Chicken with White Sauce hot!
